there's a difference between feminists and Tumblr SJW, but i wouldn't expect you to know such a difference. : )
@Kitsuneko Thank you for a response that's actually constructive and actually adds onto the discussion! However, I do want to point out a few things:
- I honestly hadn't heard of the news about the t-shirt, nor do I think it should have been newsworthy to begin with. I think I can see where the complaints originally come from which is the image distributed by the media of women seen as nothing more than sex objects. Which is nothing new, of course, but you have to wonder when it'll finally come to an end.
- I've honestly never heard of feminists claiming superiority and the likes, but I think what you refer to is radical feminism. Again, I think you're mislabeling them as the central premise of feminism on its own is the "advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men."
- I think it's a bit hypocritical of you to say that it's not right that these people derailed the guy's original achievement into a discussion on his t-shirt when you're doing a similar thing by derailing the discussion of Gamergate. This controversy is about multiple central issues, not just one. You've stated a couple of times already saying that it's not a big deal and that it's something really trivial, when it isn't.
- Regarding the responses to and from Gamergate, there are people for and against this issue that have made this controversy about gender. The fact that women are getting attacked by these people with death threats and rape threats speaks volumes of the environment the gaming community is in. If you think the environment is a safe and easy-going place, then I don't think you've witnessed the online gaming community beyond Nintendo's family-friendly games. This is part of the ongoing issues being talked about, and not what you claim about people advocating women being superior.

In my experience, the SJWs I have argued with on TBT tend to use that fallacy a lot.
What I find fascinating here is that on one hand, you're decrying the people who say that "all feminists claim superiority over men" but then on the other hand you claim that the gaming community is all throwing death threats.
Just like the radical feminists, it's a small minority of people shouting death threats.
from the posts ive seen, ur the very embodiment of tumblr sjw

Fair point, terrible wording on my part(never said the entire community, but thanks for throwing false superlatives into my statements). However, it's that elephant in the room that people fail to acknowledge or address (evidenced in this very thread here) that really makes think of the gaming community the way that I've described it. The attacks are a small part of the problem of the treatment of women, along with unwillingness to see female-led games (referring back to when someone mentioned Mirrors Edge 2. Whaaat, a rehashed game with similar game mechanics? Like we haven't seen that before with 80% of the games out there, yet there's no huge outcry over that lol).

You described it as "volumes of the environment the gaming community is in."
Pretty obvious you meant most of the community.

You're making assumptions which is the problem here. :V
this is all I know. I remember reading it and seeing essay sized comments with arguments between people with ponies in their avatars and women with multicolored hair and I had to go outside.
Isn't this whole thing just sjws and feminazis whining about not having enough games that cater to their demographic and some gaming journalism scandals? Because gaming journalism is a joke of a "profession" and it deserves to die. As for the whining, do they seriously expect developers to cater to their needs/much smaller demographic just because of "MUH EQUALITY"? That's almost as big of a joke as gaming journalism. Anita, Zoe, and the rest of their subhuman sjw feminazi whining club need to understand how the industry works. But I wouldn't expect them to ever learn since Zoe Quinn is the cancer killing the video games industry.

For somebody complaining about people using false superlatives you sure enjoy using them yourself. I never said that I wouldn't like to see female-led games. In fact, there have been games led by females which I thought were incredible (Assassin's Creed II being a prime example). I am all for women joining the gaming industry, but when they force bad game design into it then the effect is only going to be negative.
My main complaint for Anita Sarkeesian being used as one of the project leads on Mirror's Edge 2 is that she doesn't know what games are about, let alone Mirror's Edge. She thought ME1 was too hard because apparently the controls were "too difficult" (even though they were perfectly fine, and explained well within the game). That's not surprising, seeing as she herself has admitted to not being a gamer. Now she wants to dumb down the gameplay to where it's literally just GTA with a woman.
To put it into a perspective that you would maybe understand, it's like somebody saying "Animal Crossing is too hard", then making it into GTA. It's ignoring the brand and previous game(s) entirely and just throwing in the most casual types of gameplay.
It has already been known that journalism was corrupt long before gamergate started. All I read on the news about gamergate is the feminist agenda and that leads to utter controversy.
If you want a solution to corrupt gaming journalism: Stop going to IGN, Gamespot, and Kotaku.
Kinda related question here
is she the same one that wrote that weird book about her sister or is that someone else?
Don't forget Gamesutra, the gaming website that called gaming dead and then a horde of SJWs and feminazis start calling Intel sexist mysogynistic pigs for pulling their gaming-targeted advertising off the site.

The sad thing is that a lot of companies are actually wanting to cater to this small demographic. Hell, even women are suffering under it.
Amy Hennig, the person who wrote for fantastic games like the Blood Omen/Legacy of Kain series and Uncharted (up to 3), as well as directing Uncharted 1 and 3, was fired by the currently-SJW company Naughty Dog because she didn't agree with their feminazi views. She thought it was ridiculous how they thought about feminism and couldn't identify with their claims at all. After all, she, a woman in her 50s, had become successful in the video games industry. How? By simply doing it.
These SJWs and feminazis can complain all they want, but unless they get off their asses and start making quality titles then nothing is going to change. But let's complain about the industry instead, that'll surely fix everything. Never mind the fact that all the "VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY IS MALE-CONTROLLED" is scaring away women from even entering the industry. Good job, guys. All your complaints about how there's not enough women in the video game industry is leading to even less women in the industry.
